Train Travel in and to Bangkok, Thailand

Bangkok is a city that sees millions of travellers every year. There are a number of ways to get into the city, but train travel is extremely popular on account of the well developed railway system that connects Bangkok to various cities around Thailand and some outside the country as well such as Singapore, Laos, Penang and Kuala Lumpur. Train travel to and from Bangkok is the most economical mode of transport and is also extremely efficient.

Travellers who wish to travel by train to and from Bangkok will have to purchase a rail ticket. These tickets are available online and at the all the train stations. It is also possible to find a travel agent who will purchase the ticket on behalf of the passenger. Most trains have a number of different classes such as first class and second class, and air-conditioned and non air-conditioned. There are tickets for each of these and the most expensive is the first class sleeper. Local trains are not air-conditioned but the Express trains that take travellers from Bangkok to other countries are.

The main station in Bangkok is the Hua Lamphong station, which is situated in the center of the city. This station has trains running to and from several places across Thailand. This station has a tourist office to provide information to travellers who are looking to either leave the city or spend a few days in Bangkok.

The other major stations in Bangkok include the Bang Sue Train Station, which is the second largest station in Bangkok, the Thonburi Train Station, which services the Kanchanburi district and the Wong Wien Yai Train Station.

Apart from being a very handy way of getting to the Thai capital from locations such the south of the country and from Malaysia, train travel in Thailand means a great opportunity to see the countryside and stunning scenery which graces the country. One of my favourite trips of all is travelling from Singapore to Bangkok. It is a tiresome trip which takes many days but it is quite an experience and you find yourself meeting some incredible kind and interesting people during such a trip.

Within Bangkok itself, as well as trains serving the city from across the country, you also have the monorail subway style system available to you. Getting across Bangkok between using the iconic Tuk Tuks, the monorail system and also river boats, makes it a good city for local transportation.

Thailand And Some Facts About It

Thailand, officially known as the Kingdom of Thailand, is a country in Southeast Asia. Thailand is more famous for its tourism than any other countries in the same area. Tourists are fascinated by its natural beauty, hundreds of splendid temples and the unforgettable hospitality of Thai people.

The capital of Thailand is Bangkok, which is the largest city in Thailand and also owns one of the world's biggest international airports. Thailand has 75 provinces and two special governed districts: one is Bangkok and the other is Pattaya. Thai population is virtually made up by ethnic Thai and Lao and more than 94% of them are Buddhists. Thai people worship Buddha and ancestors and that's what makes the Thai culture. Thai people respect their religion and ancestors so much that it comes into their way of greeting each other: they greet other people with a prayer-like gesture. Thais are very friendly and smiling, that's why this country is also called "the land of smiles". Thai people like talking openly to everyone, including foreigners. Tourists coming to Thailand are always warmly greeted by all Thais, from kids to old people. Even if you don't know much about the Thai language, you can still have a good time interacting with the local residents.

Thailand is a typical tropical country with a hot and humid climate. There are two seasons in a year: the dry and the rainy season. The rainy season is from July to November. It is very inconvenient and uncomfortable to travel in the rainy season. The best time to come to Thailand is from February to March when the weather is the finest and the beaches are the most beautiful.

Thailand has never been colonized. Since its foundation date in 1238, Thailand has been growing and has become one of the most prosperous countries in Asia. The official currency in Thailand is the Baht, which exchanges at about 34 to the US dollar. Nowadays Thailand has a fast growing and open economy which benefits a great deal from the tourism industry. More than 10 million tourists go to Thailand every year, but this number fell sharply after its tsunami disaster at the end of 2004. The most badly affected area is Phuket - one of the most beautiful destinations for tourists, with its glorious beaches. Much advertising effort has been made since, to recover the tourism industry.

Besides tourism, agriculture is also the strength of this country. Thailand has been the leading country in exporting rice for more than a decade. However, the Thai economy and food chain has been stricken once more by the recent avian flu epidemic which has adversely affected poultry farming in the entire area.

In contrast to the beautiful city sights, grand hotels and luxury resorts, a large proportion of the Thai population still live in poverty in suburban areas and ragged villages, although the government is always trying to develop the Thai economy as well as improving the living standard for the poor across the country.
